lecture 2: ROM and stretching Flashcards
what is functional excursion
Distance a muscle is capable of shortening after it’s been maximally elongated
what is the difference between active and passive insuffiecny
active is when agonist is over shortened over a joint and passive is when a multi joint mm is lengthen to his full extent n
what kind of motion is ROM
osteokinematic
when is the difference between active , passive and active assisted ROM
passive is when you move them , active is when they move them selves (mm contraction) and active assisted is u move them and they move themselves
when are the 2 reasons ROM should not be done
when the motion is disruptive to the healing process and when the patient response or condition is life threatening
what are the 7 benefits of CPM
• Prevents development of adhesions, contractures
• Stimulates healing of tendons, ligaments
• Enhances healing of incisions
• Increases synovial fluid lubrication
• Prevents degrading effects of immobilization
• Quicker return of ROM
• Decreases postoperati
when is CPM device applied
immediately after sx
what is the purpose for doing ROM through functional patterns
helps patient realize purpose and value of ROM exercises and assists in developing motor patterns
what is the general ROM exercise for acute tissue healing
PROM 3-5 reps within pain tolerance , several times per day
what is the general ROM exercise for subacute tissue healing
PROM > AAROM> AROM for 10-15 reps with brief hold periods (3-5 seconds) within pain free range; 2-3 times per day
what is the general ROM exercise for chronic tissue healing
AROM: >30 reps for mm re education , maintenance of ROM , stretching to gain ROM
what is the purpose of stretching
increase mobility of soft tissue , improve ROM by enlow acting structures that have adaptively shortened and have become hypo mobile over time
what is the difference between dynamic and passive flexibility
dynamic is flexibility due to active movement and passive is due to a passive force
what is hypo mobility
limited arthrokinematic movement of a joint
how can u gain ROM from arthrokinematics
can make the joint glide which will improve the roll and u will gain ROM
what is contractures designated by
location and position the joint is “stuck in:
what is myostatic contracture
MT unit is adaptively shortened
what is Pseudomyostatic contracture:
Hypertonicity due to CNS lesions: CVA, TBI, SCI
what is Arthrogenic and periarticular contractures:
Adhesions, synovial proliferation, joint effusion, osteophytes
what is Fibrotic contracture and irreversible contractures:
• Fibrous changes in connective tissue leads to adhesions
• Difficult to re-establish normal tissue length
what is Purposefully stretch or mobilize certain muscles and joints while letting others become hypomobile to improve function
Selective Stretching
what is the purpose of overstretching and hypermobility
increase function
what are 8 interventions to increase mobility of soft tissues
-manual or mechanical stretching
-passive stretching
-assisted stretching
-neuromuscular facilitation and inhibition
-muscle energy techniques
-joint mobilization/ manipulation
- soft tissue mobilization and manipulation
-neural tissue mobilization
what type of intervention to increase mobility of soft tissues Utilizes an external force to perform a passive stretch
manual or mechanical stretching
what type of intervention to increase mobility of soft tissue is there No active contraction of the contractile unit
passive stretching
what type of intervention to increase mobility of soft tissue does the Patient assistance by themselves, machine or another person
assisted stretching
neuromuscular facilitation and inhibition for interventions to increase mobility of soft tissues does what 2 tings
• PNF
• Increases or decrease in muscle
